With Microsoft releasing information about the HoloLens at The Game Developers Conference (GDC) and also the Microsoft Build conference this year, it would be great to support this on Windows 10.

I know that TGC plan to support Direct3D 12 and Windows 10. However, since HoloLens is due out this year in the time frame of Windows 10, it would be awesome to see AppGameKit supporting it.

I believe that HoloLens will be bundled with a next generation MineCraft and available this fall and I believe that it would be hugely beneficial for TGC to take advantage of that power and it would possibly have a leg up over the competition.

Really depends on how it works. If it can be integrated into the current 3D system, yes, but a completely new 3D SDK probably wouldn't be a great idea.

We will get more details over the next couple of months (March/April) and I am looking forward to this.

You can create 2-D graphics or 3-D graphics with this just like AppGameKit and I think it would be huge.

We already know that there are some features that are available for iOS that are not on other platforms, correct? So, I don't see the problem or issue here.

If the price is right (which I do believe it will be) and if Microsoft includes a next gen MineCraft like I believe they will, this will be a huge hit.

This is a game changer and something that I believe needs to be addressed in the future of AGK.

I would rather see support for this than Linux or blackberry to be honest.

Direct3D 12 has to be addressed and thus Windows 10 has to be addressed and is going to be addressed then I think that support for the Microsoft HoloLens is a given at this point.
